  • Eating My Words About Clark Rockefeller

    Meghan, why should you apologise for something you never wrote. Your original comments used the Clark Rockefeller as a leaping off point, but you did not express sympathy for Clark Rockefeller. If you look at your own words, you said ''I confess the whole saga has got me feeling a lot of empathy for all the divorced fathers out there who find ...

  • What kind of flower are you, Dahlia?

    Ok, skip the parody tripe this time, that piece on father's rights is dead on we need to acknowledge men's roles she's got it! Daughters need father's take it from one who grew up without one I was always looking for daddy in husbands and the marriages didn't work. I had no idea what men were for. They weren't innocent either their lives had ...

  • Evidence?

    So nice of the XXers to blog about how the family courts are allegedly biased against men. Where is the factual evidence? I don't give a hoot about all these anecdotes. Show me some data that say that, all things being equal, a mother will win custody of the children due to gender bias. It's not possible because each case is unique and must be ...

  • Nonfiction Fathers

    Just had to throw in my two cents worth, as most of the books mentioned seemed to be fiction. I have to say that David Gilmour's The Film Club contains the best father-son relationship that I've come across in a while. It's a story about Gilmour allowing his son to drop out of school as a teenager on the condition that they watch three movies a ...

  • When moms have the freedom

    I am so happy my husband supports my desition of staying with my child at home. I just couldn't leave him in childcare. I tried 3 different center after I actually visited like 15. It was just so devastating. I came home to cry all evening for leaving my child with who know who... We couldn't afford for me not to make money, we need my income. But ...

  • what mommies do

    Lots of moms who have decided to stay home because they just can't leave their babies in daycare, either because they find the separation too hard or because after having to pay childcare fees and gas they don't really bring much money home, they are doing GPT sites from home. I am one of them. No, I didn't believe in those sites at first. My ...

  • Toddler Dreader

    Wowsers, that guy who dislikes being around his 2-year-old may think he's self-interested, but he has no idea how to do it. Properly addressed, your own kids can make you feel like you have lived longer and more intensely — through co-experience. I have no younger siblings (one older sister) and had no tots around until the first of my three. I ...

  • Is Roy Neary the ultimate adventurer or the worst dad ever?

    Brilliant article. At last, someone actually thought about this film. I recently wrote a blog post at http://www.daddyfactory.com asking this question: Is Roy Neary the ultimate adventurer or the worst dad ever? The question arose last night when we watched the film with friends and everyone was appalled by the fact that Roy abandons his family ...

  • More Women Driving Men?

    I've noticed this recently for some reason. Married for 16 years, when I go some place with my wife, I drive. Not out of some machismo or male domination, rather I consider it part of my responsibility as does my wife. Yet I have noticed in my suburbia of Florida- perhaps a microcosm of all Suburbia America given that Target, Walmart, 7-11, ...

  • Why always Mothers? Shop with Dad.

    Surely, there are many cases when fathers shop with their girls and it's not always mothers. When I went through the tween shopping challenges (admittedly 20 years ago), my father had to accompany me. This certainly presented certain additional challenges, but the experience wasn't as emotionally fraught for him in the way that it sounds like it ...
